I was watching 20/20 one Friday night and they clearly stated that
stimulators do not work and the women used for the commerical are as
everyone guessed models. So where does that leave us to crunches. Ab
excerise really haven't done much for me, I am of latina blood. But
what use to seem to help was floor excerises lifting the legs to the
stomach. Squats might help.
